Star Wars Valentine

I wanted to create some Valentine’s that weren’t all about love for my little guy (or little girl) to hand out and something that fit his personality too! Plus as a mom I am sort of giddy that it’s not a candy treat he is handing out!

Step 1: Print off the cards and cut them apart. Each page comes with 2 (the original had 3 but it went all wonky so when I tapered it down it 2 it seems to come out fine).

Step 2: Make a slit in the cardstock right at the top of the lightsaber – about 1/2″ – 3/4″ long. Wide enough for the glow stick to be able to slip through. I used my paper cutter to make the slit but you could use an exacto knife or other cutting device too.

Step 3: Slip the glow stick into the hole – be careful not to pop/activate the stick! Then place the bracelet attachment on the end in the back and secure into place with a bit of tape!

Have your little cutie fill in their name and they are ready to hand out!

Thank you so much, this was inspiring. I took your idea and ran with it, and created two different versions, one with a picture of my son “holding” the light saber (like those Valentine’s with kids holding lollipops) and another using a picture of one of his little Star Wars LEGO guys http://www.stitchcraftcreations.com/2012/01/30/forceful-valentines/

My girls are huge Star Wars fans. They even faced off against Darth Maul and Darth Vader at Disneyland and are now proud Padawans. They are going to be so excited to use this idea for their Valentines. Thanks for posting!

I want to do this, so I tried to download today (2/8/2012). It said “Thank you for downloading,” but I never saw it, and it wasn’t saved to my computer. Is there something special I need to do? I love this idea! Thanks!

LOVE THIS!! Is there any way to get this in a file where I could make changes? My sons birthday is next weekend and has a Star Wars theme. He isn’t allowed to being “treats” to his school class – only non edible items. I was thinking to pur “my Birthday” instead of “Valentine’s Day” And then to have his name – Jack Ward at the bottom. Is this doable? Too much to ask? LOVE your ideas – you are amazing and talented!! Thanks!! Lesa (lesaward1@hotmail.com)

I absolutely LOVE these! My son also fell in love when he saw them and asked if we could make our own for Valentine’s Day. Of course I said yes! I shared our version on my blog today and would love it if you stopped by sometime to check them out. Thanks for being such an inspiration!
